Now that I think about it, the likely scenario, politically, has nothing to do with the reality of how trump deals with the situation. Or what happens with the virus. No matter what happens, right-wing propaganda will portray trump as the hero, and liberals as the villains. Tens of millions of ignorant, pathetic chumps will, as usual, fall for it[/quote]The below article (which came out yesterday, two weeks after my above post) is all about how the above happens.
It’s pretty funny (and sad) that so many right-wingers have been led around by the nose by propagandists and changed their positions just as the propaganda told them to. This is how it generally plays out. It’s just a lot more obvious in this instance.
Look on facebook and see how many right-wingers first said the coronavirus is nothing to worry about but have now changed their tune. And watch in the coming days/weeks/months how the rest of them come around as they catch up with what fox is telling them.
So pathetic.
Fox News removed all the videos where they claimed the virus was a Democratic hoax. Those copywrited videos are nowhere to be found anymore. Haha[/quote]

I went for a jog during a break in the rain today. Don’t want to become a lazy fatass.Looks like you can still go jogging in Paris.
March 18, 2020 at 1:59 PM #815737GuestI keep getting phone calls from a San Diego County number. But then hangup. Looks like the county is calling citizens, but the system is not working properly.

Is it always from the same number? Sometimes robo-callers test dial numbers to see if someone is on the other side. I always let mine ‘go to cover’ if the number is not one I recognize. I have different rings for specific people in my contacts and then a general ring for other numbers in my contacts list. A final ring-type is used for numbers that are not in my contacts list (I usually just silence the ringing in that case).Another possibility is that they want you to call back, putting the cost of the call on you – not them. (which is also a trick that telemarketers use) An old one was to have the number you call back go to a high fee telephone line and bill the crap out of you for the call back.
I am tempted to add the multi-tone signal that represents a disconnected number to the very start of my message on the answering system to catch these test dials. I would immediately follow it with my real message also explaining that the tones are to weed out robo-callers and please leave a message. Robo-callers also use a ‘pre-dialer’ that then switches the line on pickup to one of the people in the ‘pit’ or ‘boiler room’. If the ‘pre-dialer’ gets the tones, it hangs up and removes the number(at least temporarily) from their list so that they are not wasting time on non-existent numbers.
March 18, 2020 at 2:23 PM #815741GuestThe call is from:
+1 (858) 795-9050I believe that public Health is a county responsibility at the local level.

Thats what ‘they’ may be claiming, however it flags as a scam number with complaints to the FTC. The data goes back more than 1 year. One of the people contacted actually got someone and they asked for a lot of personal info – enough for ID theft.https://www.callercenter.com/858-795-9050.html#complaints
https://findwhocallsyou.com/8587959050?CallerInfoWhat is weird, whitepages.com says it belongs to a person in Poway… the address looks like a business address.
https://www.whitepages.com/phone/1-858-795-9050Another system (beenverified.com) is giving me yet another id for that number. I tend to trust callercenter.com more because it has complaints showing similar behavior to what you are noticing. beenverified does not show that info.
Last possibility would be a spoofed number – which could explain the inconsistent lookups of the holder for that number.

Participant[quote=zk]Seems pretty closed-minded, and it brings to mind the below article. Republicans have been against “big government” for so long without really considering which situations might call for strong government involvement that they now mindlessly reject considering anything that involves significant government involvement. [/quote]
My rejection of big government is far from “mindless”.
I have studied the ramifications of “voluntary social systems” for over 30 years now, starting in college. The structure of government where they take your money and tell you what to do is destined to fail every time, even if you get to vote.

Am I mistaken, or is that all governments? Even “small” ones?

In your estimation, has the USA reached big government?

I think I might go picnicking at a National Park. Why not?

The Trump administration is waiving entrance fees at national parks, encouraging Americans to get outside during a time when most indoor gatherings are curtailed because of fears of the spread of coronavirus. -
